This is one of the rarest of the West Virginia Soldiers’ Medals. At
the Parmelee Sale, June 1873, (No. 75,) one of a more common variety
sold for $11.75; one at the Stenz Sale, 1875, (No. 1455,) for $12.00, and
one at Fewsmith’s Sale for a similar price. This is apparently the third
kind, of those provided for by the State Resolution, for officers and
soldiers dying from wounds received in battle; it has not before been
described, and is so far as I know the first yet offered at auction. See
Journal of Numismatics, Vol. X, p. 79, and XI. p. 96.
